I would like to know how many miles I have until my Fly wheel lets loose. It has a little over 2000 miles on it. 2) Where can I buy one on line. Plus puller. 3) How hard is it to put in? I ask this because the wife and I are going to Colorado in 2 weeks. Right now I'm tring to get it to run after I put in a dial a jet and down from 122 to 115. Now it won't idle but I thinks that is the pilot screw. I rebuilt the carb but did not drill out the plug until Sat. night. I put it and new pilot screw but only backed it out 1 and a half. I"ll go out now a change it to 2 and a half.

 

I forgot this in central Wisc. as far as jetting goes.

 

That is a good question about the flywheel magnets. I have a 2003 Eiger with 3300 miles on it and it runs great. I do a lot of riding in the Colorado mtns. by myself, so I'm concerned about the magnets also. I see that you are coming out here in a couple weeks. If you are planning on riding 4wheelers, you might check on trail closeures because of snow. The national forests won't have much open, if any.

 

I have taken an interest in this fault and spent some time talking to the importers, here, about it. There seems to be a common fault that results in this happening and that is OVERHEATING.
Blocked oil coolers are a common reason where dirt has blocked off the fins. I have over 17000miles on mine and no probs-yet- but I always keep the cooler clean. Even though is looks ok, it's amazing just how much gunk comes out of the fins when I remove it and give it a good scrub down. At the same time it also gets a good flush out on the inside too.
Again there is an amazing amount of crud there too. Probably as the oil sits in there and any unwanteds settle out.
Make sure that the fan is operating correctly. Even put in a override switch so it operates more often. And a temp guage if you are serious.
I had one in another quad and it was suprising just how quick the temp came up during not-so-hard-rides. As for tough going, well that was quite scarey. Well over 300deg F (150deg C) is not very nice.
Even fitting a bigger, or even 2, cooler (s) is a great option if ambient temps are high. Cheap insurance eh?

 

Not sure why the oil cooler is that big of a deal on a air cooled it should only be to assist in cooling.

My 89 Yamaha 350 Big Bear,had a very small oil cooler compared to the new ones and did not even have a fan, yet it never over heated and has 6,000 miles on it. My 250 Moto4 had no cooler at all.

Just the oil in the crank case and air fins of the motor should keep a small 376cc motor cool enough. At 23 hp its not a high stressed motor.

 

hello, im new to this web. i have 02 eiger no spark, i replaced cdi,tested the sator , pulser and coil still no luck soo faar. any idea's and what could it be help plezzz

 

i alsoo inspected the fly wheel

 

Unlike many quads, the Eiger elies on oil as a major cooling item. The position of the engine limits the amount of free air getting to it when travelling at slow speeds. Also the fins on the head and barrell are very small.
As to other makes, they also have the ability to overheat irrespective what owners say. Use them in the same situations and they too come unstuck.
I have seen Yamahas and Hondas that have gotten so hot that the rods and valve gear have gone blue. So it aint only Suzukis that can get hot.
As to fixing the magnet problem, I have seen owners reglue them and away they go no problem. But I cannot recall what they used to do it with. I think it was some hi-temp type of epoxy.
In the end it wasn't rocket science.

 

the magnets r fine but i noticed that the temp light satys on when the switch is on that could cause it not to fire.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I now feel like I should have a lot of miles left on it. I will check the cooler though. My friend in Colorado knows the area so he'll know where we can go. I couldn't figure out what is with the carb so i took it to a small shop by me on tuesday. Should know by Sat. or Monday.
